The guitar is a plucked musical instrument that probably originated in Spain in the early 16th century, from the name "Guitarra Latina" which has a curved body and four strings. From the 16th to the 19th century, several changes were made to the instrument. A fifth course of strings was added before 1600. At the end of the 18th century, a sixth course was added. The guitar whispers, sings, rocks and howls. It expresses the voice of the people. Over the past five decades it has become an American icon: jazz, blues, country, pop, rock, reggae and soul. The instrument can be adapted to the piano, the violin and the harmonica. It is one of the most widely played instruments in the world. There are 3 main types of guitar, including nylon string acoustic (classical), steel string acoustic and electric. Learning to play the guitar is a way to express yourself, to show others a side of your personality and to be able to convey emotions through music.
